Bedtime Stories for Seniors THE GRAND FINALE I dedicate this last Bedtime story to our turtle doves, little Dovey Graham and little Dovey VX'hitaker who have kept us forest folk together in harmony. .-ldivu!

You are all, I hope, graduating from the forest preserves into the great wide zoo. I already know a most disreputable wretch, known as Time, who has cap- tured you and he will give you a mys- terious pamphlet called Diploma which ushers you into the world zoo of animals. Dearest little people, you will take those horrible manuscripts and march forth boldly into the big zoo, ready for a long stayg and oh, my dears, what a sad, sad event. I have already spoken to our big chief, Mr. Brownie,

0 ,,,. .1,, ,,. .. Harpy Revealed There has been a great mystery as regards the identity of the strange Harpy person. W'hen the Rfd and ll'lz1'tv signed a contract with a certain gentlemen at the beginning of the se- mester, he insisted that his name be kept a secret. Under no other condi- tion would he permit us to publish his works. XYe were forced to do it. Now that the semester is over he has given us his reasons for withholding this information besides giving us permission to scatter his name to the four winds. Under a nome de plume, he could write things that might other- wise affect the general peace between him and all those concerned in his revealing articles. Now that he is graduating, he cares not for the How of public opinion or anything else. He is free. VVe now take pleasure in un- veiling Harfiy as Robert Zllitlinsluha iBatkar7J lSee, we did have enough funds to put his name in old English. Our business manager, though at frrst rather doubtful, asserted that we could afford this luxury. It costs six cents more.5 -The Editors.

l06 Red and White of Lake View High School the forest fairy-king, and he agrees with me that there will he much griev- ing at this event. Poor little dears, you are expected to weep so long and so loud, that we have already arranged that your ac- cumulated tears will be used to fill the swimming pond, in which the new set of forest folk may take salt baths. Those tears left over will be packed in fire extinguishers for use in clean- ing the cactus. just guess what we're going to do with your wild shrieks of sorrow! Since we are a practical in- stitution, these shrieks are expected to loosen the roof of the Lake View Forest and this is very good, for it will be so much easier to add on a few stories to the forest roof as Lake View must be larger, for animals are packing in, in hordes. Prevously, we were going to add on from the bottom up, but you have saved us much work. I hope some of our great lions will succeed in their leadership in the zoo as well as in our little forest. l just know our sprightly deers will attain success as the zoo's head chorus in the annual musical comedy Zoo Step- persf' Our singing birds will certain- ly add to the Zoo Steppersn also. Perhaps our fish will capture swim- ming prizes in the Zoo's lagoon as they did in our brook meets. I could go on and on, little friends, picturing the forest folks' futures but time and space forbid me. You do not know how it grieves me to call this - - THE END. -Erna B. Hczzcrllzan. Q Q Q sh. Q.. .0 Real Horoscopery Using hyperbole only moderately, we can say that the replies to last month's horoscope article were tre- mendous. Long confidential letters, outlining the individual cares and re- sponsibilities of so many souls, showed us that our last month's treatise on this subject impressed everyone with its truth and sincerity. To be able to answer these thousands of letters would be beyond our capacity and as a result, only the letters that ex- ceeded 10,000 words are being an- swered.
